The state of Texas is offering Facebook Inc. $1.4 million from a business development fund to locate a new 200-employee sales and operations office in Austin. This comes on the heels of a recent announcement by Facebook, which has seen membership grow to more than 400 million worldwide, that a new data center will be opened in Oregon, employing 35 workers.The deal, announced Thursday by Gov. Rick Perry's office, asks the city of Austin to chip in $200,000 in development incentives to lure the Social Media giant.
Austin is one of several cities Facebook is considering for the office, which would be the social networking giant's first major office expansion outside of its headquarters in Palo Alto, California. Facebook has not revealed other cities in the running, but noted Austin offers a deep pool of technology workers.
The office would house sales support and customer service staff and risk management personnel, according to documents filed with the city of Austin. Facebook plans to add staff, with an average annual salary of $54,000, incrementally through 2014.
The company hasn't picked a location, but proposed leasing 20,000-square-feet of space in the first year and expand to up to 40,000-square-feet in the second or third year. The plan also includes about $3.1 million in capital improvements.
A press release from Perry, posted on the his very own Facebook page, announced financing would come through the Texas Enterprise Fund, which is used to attract businesses.
The Austin City Council will meet next week to formally hear a proposal to offer Facebook an estimated $200,000 in economic development incentives. A public hearing is scheduled for March 11.
